History

[edit]

The coroner was originally the King's Butler and Chamberlain.

In 1478, Edward IV granted the City of London Corporation the right to appoint the coroner. Later, in 1550, Edward VI granted the city the right to appoint the coroner for the Borough of Southwark, resulting in the City Coroner generally also being appointed as coroner for the borough as well. [2]
